20240218 6PM CD BOLD Be Opening up about faith in Jesus
We want to be BOLD about faith in Jesus
Develop habits that help us share Jesus with others. Following the advice of in the letter to the Colossians, there are three main points.
- Pray for opportunities, pray for us too. Christianity is growing, in Africa, and in Latin America.
g. Use me, use others, to share good news about Jesus.
- Open up by making opportunities to share Jesus with people who are not yet Christians.
Be watchful and alert because Jesus will come back. God wants us to involved.
Redeem the opportunity. Let our conversation be “full of grace”, “seasoned with salt”. Salt is flavoursome, making it better.
We can gently, and with curiosity deepen our interactions with people.
- Take opportunities. e.g. How was your xyz…? or, I was praying for you, how did it go? or, can I pray for you? Now? or, What gives you hope? or, Would you interested in coming to church with me this week? or, Would you be interested in reading one of the biographies about Jesus in the Bible? etc.
Keep asking questions. This encourages conversation.
Speaker: Chris Donald.
